THE fife, pífaro or pife is a small transverse flute well known in Brazil for the pife bands of the northeast. Brazilian natives also have their fife-style flutes at other scales. Some researchers believe that fife came to Brazil at the time of colonization. Others believe they are of indigenous origin. The fact is that in various parts of the world, native cultures have developed their transversal flutes.

The greatest tradition and profusion of fife bands are concentrated in the Northeast, but the sound has spread throughout the country. This form of expression can be found in all regions, in the Southeast (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais), in the South (Santa Catarina), in the Midwest (Federal District) and in the North, in tribes of the Upper Xingu . Also known as zabumba, gourd, warm woman, fife suit, among other names, they are formed by intuitive musicians.

It is hard to believe how an instrument apparently so simple and made by hand is capable of producing such rich and beautiful music, animating parties, processions and still being the livelihood of many musicians in various regions of Brazil.

Our flutes are handmade creations worked one by one with a lot of love. We take care of bamboos since harvest, preparation and drying for months. It is a slow and careful process. Each flute that is born has its own unique personality. The pictures of the flutes are references for you to choose and order your new flute. Due to the wide variety of models and customization possibilities, we need a delivery time:

The “Flute Time”.

To create a flute, there is an alchemical conscience working in the invisible through 4 elements, the craftsman is an interpreter of the process, and when he is integrated with the natural flow of raw material and participates in each stage of gestation, he develops the subtle art of knowing what each bamboo will be like a flute. The craftsman's intention is shaped by the shape and nature of the material. The latent flute awaits the presence of the Being, to manifest what it is from the beginning!

If you are looking for an instrument of power and vibrational healing, this is our mission, and time is a value in favor, necessary for the manifestation of an instrument with Soul.
